    Video of Dexter Jackson in 1992

    After watching the Blind Date clip of Melvin Anthony from the other thread, I took a look at some of the related clips. I stumbled on this one and found it pretty interesting. Dexter Jackson as a amateur in 1992. In the context of what he looks like now, he looks anorexic. Still impressive, though. I'm guessing he was still natural at this point:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov6l1bpgi6k

    We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

    He still does that same routine.

    And man he had alot of potential for sure, in 1992 the pro scene was hard, all the greats were at their peak.
    A big thanks to all my friends in the USA, I am deeply grateful for your hospitality and kindness.

    His superior genetics show through even while much lighter

    quad/ham separation is lights-out impressive, in particular
